lubuntu maverick beta 1 release

Julian Lavergne announced on the mailing list the release of “lubuntu beta 1” Here are his notes for the beta release:

Please note that Lubuntu Maverick is based on Ubuntu Maverick, same warning apply: “Pre-releases of Maverick are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs.”

Since the beginning of Maverick : – Updates on programs installed by default : * Update-notifier was added * Xpad was added * Parcellite was removed * Pyneighborhood was removed * LXtask was added, to replace Xfce4-taskmanager * Evince is now used for reading PDF. * Some small games, powered by ace-of-penguins. – New theme, made by Rafael Laguna – New slideshow available during the installation – LXDE is now HAL-free. Lubuntu still depends on HAL for CD-burner, but by removing it, you can obtain a HAL-free system. – A new meta-package (lubuntu-core) is available to install only core packages of Lubuntu. – A new meta-package (lubuntu-restricted-extras) is available to install restricted packages for Lubuntu (such as flash, java and extra codecs for chromium) – Add support for indicator applets on lxpanel (turn off by default) – And the usual updates of LXDE and Lubuntu components packages.

== Specific Lubuntu changes == Lubuntu contains 2 specific changes still not available on Ubuntu official repository : – Support for lxdm in ubiquity – Lubuntu slideshow for ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu
